DR ALEX MCCARTHY MBCHB (HONS)

MEDICAL AESTHETICS

Following my medical training, I specialised in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Although surgical training came naturally to me, I felt I needed some time out from being a hospital doctor and reassessed what I wanted for the future.

During that time I moved from the operating table to the Island I love, where a five months as an Ibiza massage therapist allowed my positive attitude and love of health and wellbeing to the fore.

​

On completing my break, I came back to the UK and trained in facial aesthetics, starting with anti-wrinkle and dermal fillers, whilst returning to the hospital part-time as an Obstetrician/Gynaecologist. My passion for this new area of work quickly developed and my concern for under-qualified beauticians drove me further to advanced training. I am now a specialist in lips, cheeks and jaw-lines as well as non-surgical nose jobs and tear troughs.

​

I am passionate about helping clients look and feel fantastic. My bespoke facial analysis and recommendations have quickly gained her a reputation for quality and customer satisfaction.

I feel I am helping people just as much as a medical aesthetician as I am as a hospital doctor.

It gives me great satisfaction to help clients look and feel more confident. I am not about making people look artificial; people don’t realise what can be achieved in terms of reversing signs of ageing. I look at facial ratios, angles and existing as well as desired bone structure to help clients achieve a refreshed and rejuvenated look. I am very much a perfectionist and without a doubt my medical background and
surgical training and precision is an advantage in this industry.
